1960 Evinrude 5.5 hp

Evening guys. Just an update on the little Evinrude 5.5 ... I've taken it out 10 or so times with my son (8) and nephew (7) and just tooled around the lake fishing. It'll push that little flat bottom around 14 or 15 mph, and so far I've used a grand total of 3 gallons of fuel since splashing it the first time. If my Checkmate still runs this good when it's as old, I'll be a happy man!
 
Thanks for the update! :)

It'll probably run for another 50 years or so too. :D
